"Various Voices" The European LGBTQ+ Choir Festival, is the main event for LGBTQ+ choirs in Europe and the reason for the birth of LEGATO:
It was built as a patron to support and strengthen the idea of the Festival.
LEGATO manages and supports the bidding process for choirs to bring this brilliant Festival to their cities.
LEGATO provides start-up money for each Various Voices Festival, information, and support to anyone who wants to run the festival
Every four years it's held in another European city and is organized from the local choirs.
The LEGATO or GALA membership is obligatory to join the festival as a participating choir.
